I have a dividend that I collected in January 2012 that was not included on my 1099-DIV form. I finally got the 1099 form as Tradeking uses Apex Clearing. Tradeking/Zecco is again having problems with 1099 forms, and I finally received mine today. A little annoying to have this happen 2 years in row. Anyways, can I somehow report this dividend without it being included on my 1099-DIV form? I just want to get my taxes done and over with already. The amount is somewhat significant at approx. $1000.

Are you sure the dividend wasn't taxable in 2011? Some dividends received in January are taxable in the previous tax year.
